Abstract
Bi-component MOF/ transition metal oxide hetero-junction prepared by solvothermal strategy is presented as an efficient visible light photocatalyst. The proposed synthesis strategy allows the intimate union of the components which in turn ensures the efficient interfacial charge transfer and consequently leads to the modified apparent bandgap of 2.7 eV. The photocatalytic degradation tests on the model substrate i.e. Rhodamine B exhibits 1st order rate constant (kaap) value of 0.0372 min−1for composites compared to pristine MOF [kapp = 0.0023 min−1 ] and MnO2 NS (kapp = 0.0016 min−1).
